PATHWAYS FOR MEN’S & WOMEN’S HOCKEY CAREERS
Major Junior/NCAA
Two proven routes to pro hockey, each with unique advantages:
- CHL: Direct route to pro hockey, high-level development, competitive environment.
- NCAA : Athletic and academic growth, scholarship opportunities, long-term career flexibility.
At Yarema Hockey, we help you weigh the benefits and implications of each path—Major Junior or NCAA—to craft a development plan aligned with your skills, academic goals, and professional aspirations. Our guidance ensures you make informed choices at this critical juncture of your hockey career.
NCAA Rule Change: Effective Aug 1, 2025:
CHL players are now eligible for NCAA Division I hockey (if they’ve received no more than actual and necessary expenses). Still not eligible for NCAA Division III.
We help you weigh both paths and make an informed decision.
Junior A
Junior A hockey serves as an important stepping stone toward NCAA college hockey or professional leagues. It offers competitive play and strong development opportunities for talented players from both North America and Europe.
At Yarema Hockey, we provide dedicated support for players pursuing Junior A hockey by assisting with tryouts, training plans, and development strategies. Our goal is to help maximize exposure and position players for success in higher-level college and pro hockey opportunities.
